Encyclopedia of Alabama Tommie Bass (Includes Picture Allen Tullos, Emory University Nationally recognized herbalist Tommie Bass (1908-1996) was the subject of scholarly and popular books, television features, a front-page essay in the Wall Street Journal, and numerous articles in Tommie Bassnewspapers and magazines. Bass lived almost his entire life in the Tennessee Valley and Ridge section of Alabama, primarily in Cherokee County. Armed with in-depth knowledge about practical subjects, an endless inventory of jokes and humor, and an encyclopedic knowledge of native plants and their medicinal uses, Bass devoted himself to "trying to give ease" to many people with varying afflictions and complaints who sought his advice and remedies. The youngest of six children, Arthur Lee "Tommie" Bass was born on January 24, 1908, to Kate and John Bass, near Scottsboro in Jackson County, where his parents had moved from Greene County, Tennessee, around the turn of the century. John Bass was a fur trapper, trader, woodsman, and subsistence farmer. Kate was a resourceful woman known for making an herb salve remedy from a family recipe that, according to oral tradition, had English origins. During his childhood, Bass's family moved several times to locations along Lookout Mountain before settling in 1917 in Cherokee County. Their new home was a major cotton farming area near the Coosa River, but the Bass family continued its self-sufficient practices, raising some cotton and corn, but engaging primarily in truck farming, berry and herb gathering, fur trading, fishing, and producing railroad crossties. Tommie Bass attended school only one day in his entire life, but he was constantly absorbing the plant and animal lore of the Southern Appalachians, as well as a variety of jokes, tales, and songs. His mother taught him to write, and he learned to read from local newspapers, the Bible, and popular magazines. At age 16, he was baptized in a local creek as a Free Will Baptist. Bass served a six-month tour in the army in 1942, but otherwise he spent his entire adult life near the small town of Leesburg, where he worked at various jobs. Bass gained a widening reputation after a Gadsden newspaper ran several stories on him that highlighted his knowledge of medicinal plants and the salves and tonics he made. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Bass received visitors seeking cures and knowledge from throughout the South, and eventually from across the United States, at the small, wood-frame shack that served as his herb warehouse and consultation office. He conducted countless walking tours through the woods of Shinbone Ridge and Little River Canyon, teaching everyone from school children to medical school students and professors how to identify the plants and good-humouredly passing along his knowledge of botanical remedies. Late in his life, Bass made several out-of-state trips to folk festivals in neighboring states and lectured about Appalachian medicinal plants at the University of North Carolina and Duke University.

502	Phillips Family History, Chapter XVI Sally Philips (Mrs. Sion Bass) Sally Philips, daughter of Benjamin and Lydia, was born July 7, 1803 and died November 14, 1890. She married Sion Bass August 21, 1823. Sion, the oldest child of John and Annie Bass, was born in Sumner County, Tennessee, August 11, 1802. The marriage bond for his wedding to Sally Philips was executed August 2, 1823, and was signed by Sion and his father, John. He and Sally lived to celebrate their sixty-first wedding anniversary. Shortly after their marriage, Sion was ordained a minister by the Round Lick Baptist Church, beginning a ministry that continued sixty years. For forty-five years he was pastor of the Round Lick church. In an article in ?The Gospel Messenger? in 1885, P.M. Lancaster gave the following estimate of the ministry of Sion Bass: ?Brother Bass was a gifted man, mighty in the scriptures, an able fender, a good speaker, and a might reasoned. There were but few who were his equals. He was a man of untiring energy. For several years he was nearly alone in the Round Lick Association and he was not able to travel; yet he traveled, and did all he could to keep the churches together until the Lord raised up more preachers.? Sion and Sally lived on a farm in the Eleventh District of Wilson County. Sion was administrator of the estate of Benjamin Philips., Sion died September 27, 1884. Sally became blind in her old age, but survived her husband. She was 81 at the time of his death. Sion and Sally had ten children: Thomas, Eliza, Edward Price, Elias, Mary Ann, John L., Margaret Malissa, Preston, Emily and Sion Bradford. Thomas and Preston died in boyhood. Eliza married Watson Potter and left no children. Mary Ann married William Allen and move to Illinois. The author has been unable to get in touch with her descendants. Three hundred fifty-five descendants of Sion and Sally are traced in this chapter, 317 of whom are living.	Phillips, Sarah (I47313)

Scotland) Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ohio, October 6, 1918 Plain Dealer Newsboy, Now Energetic, Head of Nineteen Business Concerns (Picture of Ira S. Bassett) From a newsboy selling The Plain Dealer in the streets of Loudonville, O., to the head of nineteen different business enterprises, all within twenty-five years, is the record made by Ira S. Bassett of Pittsburg. Mr. Bassett had said that he owes much of his business success to the start and training he received selling The Plain Dealer. He used to meet the train that brought The Plain Dealer to Loudonville and, with papers under his arm, hustled through the town, earning his first ?bank roll?. ?It was a pleasure as well as good business to sell The Plain Dealer,? said Mr. Bassett, ?for the paper was such superiority in point of news and make up that it really sold itself. I sold so many of them that I was able to save money and finally get started for Pittsburg.? Mr. Bassett has little to say of his success since coming to Pittsburg. He does not have to say anything. The fact is that he has become the chief executive of the Ira S. Bassett interests and nineteen various businesses. His first trip back into the Cleveland district, after launching on the road to success in Pittsburg, was as traffic manager of the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce. Later he made the trip as commissioner of the Pittsburg Commercial Club, which aggressive and progressive organization he founded practically alone. In all his worldly success he has not forgotten his duty toward God. He gives more than one tenth, much more, each year, of his income. Many are the churches, charities and philanthropies that he has aided, although little is publicly known of his benefactions. The only rescue mission in the state of Pennsylvania, exclusively for the down-and-out negro, has been supported almost entirely by him. Nor is it money alone that he gives to God?s work. Considerable of his time he devotes to ?doing his bit?, as he calls the duty, in behalf of the church. Although he never misses a day as his desk, he devotes many a night to preaching the gospel, not only Sunday nights, but week day nights. Not many months ago a campaign against vice was planned by Woodlawn, Pa., a town located in the Pittsburg district. Mr. Bassett responded to the demand that he lead the fight. A tabernacle was built and there, every night, he preached. Then Pittsburg wanted him for a similar campaign and a tabernacle was built on Mr. Washington, where he waged war on sin, then going to the North Side, where he preached from the pulpit of the large Manchester church, then to the Avalon-Bellevue district. He started the most unique campaign ever launches in Pittsburg, known as a ?from-the-pew? movement, in which clergymen were conspicuous by being mere spectators, while laymen directed the fight to reclaim men for the church. This campaign was waged in the Oakland district, where most of the student population dwells and where most of the rooming houses exist. He is soon to go to Ohio to take the stump in behalf of a dry state. Many have been the demands from all parts of the nation for his time and services, which he gives without remuneration. But he has found it impossible to go farther away from Pittsburg than a night?s ride, because he has made it a practice to be at his desk daily. The Canton Repository, March 12, 1931 Tabernacle Service Attended By 1,600 Ira S. Bassett Preaches On Life Of ?Naaman, The Leper? More than 1,600 persons attended the Bassett interchurch evangelistic campaign in the tabernacle at Dueber-Hampden grounds Wednesday night when Ira S. Bassett, lay-evangelist, preached on the life of ?Naaman, the Leper.? Wilkes-Barre Times, November 26, 1918 No Bail Furnished For Ira S. Bassett Pittsburgh, Nov. 26 ? No bondsman had appeared to furnish $35,000 bail for Ira S. Bassett and he was still in jail today awaiting grand jury action on charges of consipiracy and fraudulent concealment of assets. Three of his alleged co-workers in the alleged ?blind pool? and evangelistic party, were held under $10,000 bail each by Magistrate Sweeney. Of the millions they are alleged to have collected from willing dupes, only $22 and a broken down automobile have been discovered in the search for assets, it was stated by Attorney James, Sachs, representing the receivers. New Castle News, Wednesday, October 23, 1918 Ira S. Bassett Under Arrest Pittsburg Business Man ? Evangelist Charged With Concealing $400,000 of Assets (International News Service) PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 23 ? Charged with concealing $400,000 of his assets and of conspiracy to defraud, Ira S. Bassett, the businessman evangelist, whose failure a few days ago disclosed that he had hundreds of victims who had loaned money to him for investment, was under police custody today in the St. Francis hospital. According to Attorney Sachs, who is acting for some of Bassett?s clients, the businessman evangelist has liabilities between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000. It is said the number of persons who gave their money to Bassett for investment will number into the thousands. Bassett?s method of conducting business is under close scrutiny. Promising 10 to 20 per cent on loans of money for a few days on the claim that when his promises were made good in the first instance he gained the confidence of his friends and his clients grew rapidly. The Book of Prominent Pennsylvanians: a standard reference Ira S. Bassett (Picture included) Everybody within a radius of 5,000 miles or more of Pittsburgh remembers the famous Trade Tour that was carried to a successful and profitable consummation by Pittsburgh manufacturers not so very long ago. The Trade Tourists on that occasion occupied a train made and equipped in Pittsburgh, and the spaces not occupied by the tourists were filled with products of manufacture that were given out en route. The object was to boost trade in Pittsburgh, and that is exactly what it did. In charge of that tour was Ira S. Bassett, who also first suggested it. He was Traffic Manager of the Chamber of Commerce of Pittsburgh from 1907 to 1913, and has just been appointed Commissioner of the Pittsburgh Commercial Club, where he will have full charge of the workings of that organization. Born in Loudonville, Ohio, March 19, 1874, he entered the services of the Pennsylvania Lines West as telegraph operator at Freedom, Pa., in 1893. He was a traffic manager when he resigned in 1907.

521	3. Elizabeth Arthur was born in Capel, possibly at Broomals, early in 1823. She and her twin sister were baptized in St. John the Baptist Church in Capel on 16 March, 1823. Elizabeth married David Bassett of Cheam, Surrey (near Ewell) in the spring of 1851. David was born in Cheam about 1825. He was the son of a Bricklayer, Thomas Bassett, and David also became a bricklayer. David and Elizabeth lived in Cheam after their marriage, at first on Cheam Street and then, by 1871, they had moved to High Street where they continued to live for the rest of their lives. In addition to their three children, a boarder, John Pye, also lived with them in 1871. Although Elizabeth was about three years older than David, she apparently told him she was only a year older. It is not known at this time whether William Arthur was related to Mary. He may have been a cousin. This was reflected in her reported age in 1861 and 1871. David Bassett died during the spring of 1879 when he was about forty-six years old. In 1881 Elizabeth still lived on High Street in Cheam. On the day of the 1881 Census her four year old granddaughter, Elizabeth Smith, was staying with her. To help make ends meet Elizabeth had taken in two more boarders in addition to John Pye. John remained a boarder at Elizabeth?s home for at least twenty years and was still living there in 1891. After her husband?s death, Elizabeth admitted to being born in 1823 and reported her age accordingly in 1881 and 1891. Around 1888 Elizabeth?s daughter, Emma?s, husband, Frederick Smith, died and shortly afterward Emma and her five children moved in with Elizabeth where they were living in 1891. Elizabeth Arthur~Bassett passed away late in 1896. Elizabeth Arthur and David Bassett had three children; a. Emma Elizabeth Bassett was born in Cheam, Surrey, in the spring of 1856. Emma married Frederick Smith in Cheam in the spring of 1873 when she was just seventeen. Frederick was born in Mitcham, Surrey (near Wimbledon), around 1850. In 1871 he had lived in Cheam at the house of William Thorns, a butcher, and learned the butcher?s trade. After their marriage, he and Emma lived in Merton, Surrey, not far from Mitcham and Wimbledon. Frederick listed his occupation in the 1881 Census as ?Inn Keeper and Butcher?. Frederick Smith died sometime between the conception of his youngest son in the summer of 1887 and the time of the Census near the end of March, 1901. He may have been the Frederick Smith who died in the last three months of 1888. After Frederick?s death, Emma and her five children moved back to Cheam and lived with Emma?s mother. After her mother?s death in 1896 Emma apparently continued to live in her parents? house. In 1901 she lived on High Street and took in laundry to earn a few shillings. Three of her children and a granddaughter, Evelyn Smith, were living with her at the time of the Census. Emma Bassett and Frederick Smith had five children; i. Frederick Sidney Smith was born in Cheam, Surrey, in the summer of 1873, within six months after his parent?s marriage. ii. Arthur Ernest Smith was born in the summer of 1875 in Cheam. iii. Elizabeth Mary Smith was born in Cheam during the first three months of 1877. iv. Edith Emma Smith was born in the summer of 1879 in Cheam. v. Charles Adam?s Smith was born in Cheam in the spring of 1888. His father died when Charles was quite young, perhaps as young as six months. Our Family Tree ~ July 2007 The Arthur?s of Capel 6 * b. Mary Ann Bassett was Elizabeth Arthur and David Bassett?s second child. She was born in the spring of 1858 in Cheam, Surrey. c.

524	Anacortes American, September 14, 2022 Virginia Lee Dusenbury Sedro-Woolley - Virginia was born to Walter and Effie Bassett on February 21, 1927, in Montclair, New Jersey. She went to the Lord on August 31, 2022. At the time of her passing she was living at Birchview Memory Care in Sedro-Woolley, WA. Virginia's father was a fruit buyer for a grocery store that later became Safeway. Her mother was a teacher before she married Walter. She loved to read - especially The Harvard Classics. Virginia inherited this propensity and continued to read the classics well into her 90's. Virginia loved to draw, color, and paint from an early age. She and her grade school friends loved to cut out paper dolls and design and paint elaborate outfits for them. She developed a love for music in grade school. She emulated a favorite teacher who taught her to sing in parts. Walter bought a baby grand piano after Effie insisted that Virginia take piano lessons. Virginia enjoyed her piano, it followed her around the USA and presently resides in Anacortes. Even as her health declined, she enjoyed playing her favorite classics. At age 13, she met Bob, age 14, at a barn dance at the Calvary Methodist Church. Bob says: "It was love at first sight." Virginia says: "I asked Bob to go with me on our first date to a roller-skating party." Virginia graduated from Bloomfield High in New Jersey and attended Rutgers University. She moved to Montana and married Bob on September 19, 1946. She completed her college degree in Fine Arts at the University of Montana in Missoula. Paul, their first son, was born in February 1950 and Michael was born in May 1951. In 1955 the family packed up and moved to the farm in Charlo, MT. Virginia baked bread; churned butter; fed the cows, chickens, and sheep; milked the cows, and raised two fun-loving mischievous boys. In December 1965 the family moved to Wolf Point, MT, and Virginia's art career started. She loved the challenge of learning new media - oil, ink, watercolor, pastel, and etching. She preferred painting portraits of family, friends, and other unique characters. She said: "Painting portraits helps you see the beauty in everyone." While living in Flagstaff, Arizona, she painted the features and made the detailed clothing and accessories for the many Hopi Kachinas that Bob carved. She was an avid participant in many art and weaving organizations and held many administrative positions - Fort Peck Theatre Set Designer, Director at Large of Montana Institute of the Arts, Director of Flagstaff Art Center, President of Cedar City National Art Competition, President of Artists Northwest, and President of Whidbey Island Weavers Guild. Her work has been on display in collections around the country including the Guggenheim in New York City. Virginia's watercolor sketch of the old "Curtis Wharf" in Anacortes was chosen for the cover of the 1993 MacGregor's Anacortes/San Juan Island Directory. She was an award winner in many media and taught many workshops and classes in WA, MT, UT, CA, and AZ. Virginia loved teaching art. She taught lessons in her home as well at the Anacortes Senior Center. Many of her students went on to rewarding careers. For many years Virginia and Bob had a booth at the Anacortes Art Festival. He carved fan birds, and she sketched portraits. Virginia was an accomplished weaver and could often be seen wearing her beautiful hand-woven garments. She loved her church, Bible studies, and singing in the choir. Bob always joked "Daddy sang bass" and "Mama sang tenor" - like the Johnny Cash song. Bob and Virginia loved the sea and sailed all over the Puget Sound. They enjoyed sharing the many adventures with their friends and family. Bob and Virginia joined the ELCA Mission Builders and traveled around the U. S. They helped construct 11 churches. Virginia sketched the volunteers at work and left a drawing at the church upon completion of the project. Virginia was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and siblings - Doris Gidding and Jean Adams. Virginia is survived by her two sons - Paul (Julie) of Anacortes and Michael (Debra) of Billings, MT. Virginia was blessed with five grandchildren - Angela (Ron) Huskey, Heidi (Chris) Dahl, Matt (Yuan Yuan) Dusenbury, Peter (Flavia) Dusenbury, Rena Dusenbury and five great grandchildren - Leah Dahl, Claire and Ellen Huskey, Mia and Ben Dusenbury. The family thanks the professional staff at Birchview Memory Care. Their kindness was exceptional, their compassion noteworthy, and their understanding therapeutic. Virginia said: "My life has been an adventure and a delight. God bestowed upon me the talents of art and music. For this I am most grateful." Memorial Service will be held at the Anacortes Lutheran Church on Saturday, October 8, 2022, at 1:00pm.	Bassett, Virginia Lee (I18650)

During this time, he completed his mechanical electrical engineering degree at Iowa State University graduating in 1972. Throughout his career he was very active with the National Electrical Contractors Association holding multiple positions within the organization. This provided him many opportunities to travel with his family throughout the US. Usually that vacation involved shopping destinations. Alvin retired from Stroh Corporation in 1998. This allowed him more time to enjoy spending time with his grandkids, along with gardening, fishing, hunting for mushrooms or picking berries of which he would make many a pie. His grandkids still won't eat a store-bought pie because Grandpa made the best pies. An avid Cyclone fan, he would also enjoy watching many ISU sporting events and it was a bonus when he spent that time with his grandkids. In his later years he also volunteered as foster grandparents with Shirley for Royal Family Kids Camp. Besides his work, Alvin was faithful in his church First Assembly of God greeting and ushering many through the years. Alvin loved people and always had a story to tell. Throughout his life, he demonstrated his love and faith in God. HIs legacy will be remembered and live out through his grandchildren of which he spent much time with. They all can share the endless stories he would tell them (ask them about the 3-legged chicken or the bar bouncer).

539	Courier Press, January22, 2021 William Henry Freeman (Pictures included) 1932 ? 2021 Newburgh - William Henry Freeman, 88, of Newburgh, previously of Owensboro, Ky., and Evansville, passed away peacefully at home on January 13, 2021. Mr. Freeman was born April 11, 1932, to William A. and Mary F. (Bassett) Freeman, at their Independence Avenue home in Owensboro. He graduated from Owensboro Senior High School in 1950. He married his sweetheart, Ruby Jeanette Husk, on April 21, 1952. They initially met in the first grade, but his family moved after that year and he attended another school until they met again in junior high band when he played trombone and she played clarinet. They later attended Owensboro Senior High together for two years before she transferred to the county high school for junior and senior years. He went on to attend Western Kentucky State Teachers College before entering the United States Air Force on January 5, 1951. He began writing letters to Ruby, she wrote back, and after some hesitancy on her part, they started dating and fell in love. During his service, he served as an electronics and radio instructor. He felt fortunate that he was able to stay close to home, based at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, and easily found ways to make trips home to see Ruby and his nearby family and friends. He achieved the rank Airman-First Class, receiving the Good Conduct Medal and National Defense Service Medal. He was honorably discharged January 5, 1955. Upon returning home to Owensboro, he was briefly employed by the General Electric company, before becoming a field engineer with International Business Machines (IBM) working out of their local office and making calls working on computers and learning about technology as it constantly changed. The family had the opportunity for some extended trips to Minnesota and New York due to his work, which was full of some interesting times, but they were happy to come home. He was fascinated how computers have changed over time from being the size of a bedroom to fitting in his pocket as a smartphone that now has more memory than any of those large machines of the past. He and Ruby welcomed a daughter, Suzanne, on February 15, 1959. They moved to Evansville in 1960 and resided there until moving to Newburgh and building a new home in 1972. He retired from IBM in 1989 after the birth of their grandson, Jake. They remained in Newburgh for the remainder of his life but kept up with Evansville, being just next door, and frequently, sometimes weekly until recent years, visiting family in Owensboro. He enjoyed the time he and Ruby got to spend with their daughter and also babysitting their grandson as he grew up. They spent a lot of time traveling often to Owensboro, caring for her parents and aunt, and his mother. Until recent years, his many interests included Kentucky Wildcats basketball, which everyone knows is best enjoyed by muting the telecast and listening to the radio broadcast. Additionally, he liked keeping up with current events by spending multiple hours watching CNN and reading the newspaper, including Peanuts and Close to Home on the comics page. He also kept tinkering with technology after retirement. From fixing the sewing machine to sharpening scissors (correctly, because his father was a barber, and he knew scissors should be sharp), he never got bored. He bought his first home computer in 2001 and discovered how to keep up with IBM retirees through internet groups. Of course, he also experienced the adventures of testing out his farming skills with the once-popular Farmville application, but was glad to reconnect with old friends and keep up with current friends through Facebook, especially trading photos studying Freeman, Bassett, and Husk genealogy. An avid reader, Mr. Freeman kept hundreds of mystery novels accessible on his Kindle and Nook, as well as in print. (His grandson, a librarian, will be cataloging these books for a long time.) He was happy to pass on his love of reading to his daughter and grandson. His love of older music was evident, as well as old radio shows. He appreciated pipe organ music, southern gospel, and big band tunes, as well as anything classic country or anything instrumental. His experience playing the trombone led him to investigate other instruments, including the banjo. His grandson picked up the trombone and played it proudly in honor of his grandfather in middle and high school. As of late, especially while spending more time at home, he enjoyed a good crime drama or outdoor adventure on television, especially Chicago P.D., Blue Bloods, Life Below Zero, and even some exciting British dramas and comedies like Agatha Raisin and Doc Martin. A soft spot for animals, he also tuned in to vet programs like Dr. Jeff and Dr. Pol from time to time. He greatly enjoyed hometown foods, especially from Moonlite and Old Hickory. He would do anything for anyone, and we will miss him forever. He is survived by his wife of almost 69 years, Ruby; his daughter, Suzanne Freeman Kohlmeyer (and husband Tom); grandson, Jake Kohlmeyer, of Evansville; two sisters, Judy Hamilton (and husband Randy), of Owensboro, Ky., and Maudie Brawner, of Louisville, Ky.; a cousin, Brian Bassett Hunt (and wife Cathy), of Lexington, Ky.; nieces and nephews, Melissa Roberts (and husband Larry), of Owensboro; Mike Hamilton (and Sara Booker), of Whitesville, Ky.; Phil Woodard (and wife Hannah), of Greenwood, Ind.; John Freeman (and wife Melody), of Rapid City, S.D.; Sheri Brawner Webb, of Charleston, S.C.; and Thom Brawner, of Louisville, Ky.; Ruby's cousin and close friend, Bobby J. and wife Barbara "Susie" Foster, of Berthoud, Colo., and their daughter, Michelle Sandersen, and granddaughters, Emily and Lexi Sandersen, of Loveland, Colo. He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Robert A. Freeman; his closest aunt, Laura Jane (Bassett) Hunt (and husband Weldon); his in-laws, Estil and Myrtle (Foster) Husk; his aunt-and-uncle-in-laws, Wilbur and Elizabeth (Foster) Husk; as well as dogs, Little-Bit, Buttons, Lucy, another Lucy, and yet again, another Lucy, and finally, his late mother's dog, Ami. Ruby and family wish to thank the caring and loving staff of Heart to Heart Hospice of Evansville for their love and care over the past couple of months, especially to the hospice chaplain, Scott, and Dr. Karl Sash. They also wish to thank the neighbors of Wyntree Villas for kindness and support for many years. In lieu of cards or flowers, we welcome contributions in Mr. Freeman's name to organizations close to the family. In support of community learning and literacy, consider the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library Foundation, via the web at evpl.org/foundation; in support of families receiving special, end-of-life care, to Heart to Heart Hospice, at htohh.com; or to the humane society or animal rescue organization of your choice. Arrangements are entrusted to Alexander Funeral Home in Newburgh. A graveside service for family and close friends will be held 1:00 p.m., Saturday, January 30, 2021 at Owensboro Memorial Gardens, and will be officiated by the Rev. Kevin Scott Fleming, of First Presbyterian Church of Evansville. The family asks anyone attending to wear a mask and practice social distancing.

550	Elko Daily Free Press, Nevada, Wednesday, March 3, 2021 Wayne Arthur Bass February 28, 1957 ? February 22, 2021 Wayne Arthur Bass, 64 of Elko, our long time Brother, Friend and Loved One passed away peacefully in his home after a long battle with cancer on the morning of February 22, at 2:45 AM. He was preceded in death by his Father, Arthur F Bass, his Mother, Donna Massie-Bass, and a son, Dillon Bass. Wayne is survived by his brothers, Jerry & Renee Parker (Southern Pines, NC) and Greg & Lynette Parker Wendover), a son James Nagel (Culver City, CA), cousins DeeDee (Anderson) Swanson (Zephyr Cove) & Brett Anderson (Ely), and the many Brothers & Sisters whose lives he touched over the years. Wayne was born and raised in Elko. His career path took him to Idaho, California, and he ultimately landed in Carson City where he lived and worked at Home Depot- a job he loved! Then came the cancer diagnosis. After a six-month battle, aided by his devoted cousin Dee Dee, Wayne decided to move home to Elko where his lifetime Brother, Greg Martin, was his primary caretaker till his last breath. Wayne possessed an endearing passion for music and was well known as an accomplished harmonica and percussions player. Wayne played locally with the band, Nature's Way, and the Lamoille Canyon Band. Wayne often was an invited guest to many a stage of various bands playing across Northern Nevada. In fact, he was actually invited to play with Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac at her home in Sacramento! Wayne loved the outdoors and especially loved fishing at the Ruby Marshes, where he was able to enjoy a few last fishing trips this past August with his two brothers, Greg Martin & Greg Parker. No services are planned at this time, however, a wake will follow late spring or early summer! Wayne's family deeply appreciates Greg Martin's many months of being Wayne's primary caregiver. His sacrifices and devotion to Wayne is a testament to their Brotherhood. And many thanks to Billie Jean Crawford and Deborah Thompson at Horizon Hospice. Donations are much appreciated in Wayne's name. Lastly, the loving care provided by the nurses at Genesis Home Health. Wayne was a free spirit and adored by many! A Life well lived?. RIP ? our Brother & Loved One!	Bass, Wayne Arthur (I55755)
